Jessamin Wade’s husband is dead – a death she feels wholly responsible for. As
a way of coping with her grief, she keeps him ‘alive’ in her imagination –
talking to him everyday, laughing with him, remembering the good times they had
together. She thinks she will ‘hear’ him better if she goes somewhere quieter,
away from the hustle and bustle of her hometown, Brighton. Her destination is
Glenelk in the Highlands of Scotland, a region her grandfather hailed from and
the subject of a much-loved painting from her childhood.

Arriving in the village late at night, it is a bleak and forbidding place.
However, the house she is renting – Skye Croft – is warm and welcoming. Quickly
she meets the locals. Her landlord, Fionnlagh Maccaillin, is an ex-army man
with obvious and not so obvious injuries. Maggie, who runs the village shop, is
also an enigma, startling her with her strange ‘insights’. But it is Stan she
instantly connects with. Maccaillin’s grandfather and a frail, old man, he is
grief-stricken from the recent loss of his beloved Beth.

All four are caught in the past. All four are unable to let go. Their lives
entwining in mysterious ways, can they help each other to move on or will they
always belong to the ghosts that haunt them?

When Kat was forced to leave the only home she had ever known due to her brother’s secrets, she wasn’t prepared for what was waiting for her in Tennessee or the choices it would force her to make.Kat instantly knew she didn’t like Blake Reagan. He was cocky, stubborn, and infuriating. What Kat didn’t understand was why she couldn’t stop thinking about him or the way he made her feel.

The last thing Blake expected was for Kat Archer to storm into his world and turn it upside down. He thought he had her pegged from the beginning, but she destroyed everything he thought he knew. Blake was willing to fight to push his way into Kat’s heart, but she put up a wall at every turn as she clung to her past.

If she stayed, she’d risk the only family she had left. If she left, she’d lose Blake and every piece of her heart that he’d managed to steal.

STANStan Remington is the go-to man; what he doesn’t know about Onslow means one of two things: it doesn’t exist or it hasn’t happened yet.

Just the two of them. Under the one roof. For one long, long weekend.

RINGERRingo ‘Ringer’ James has a no-strings-attached policy.

Love them, leave them, and remain the eternal bachelor.

It’s just what he’s looking for. A remote, dusty homestead in Ballan, with only hard work, a cold beer and a comfy bed to worry about – no women.
